Alberta Street : a whole street of Art Nouveau buildings

Translated by Google •

Beyond the Horizon

October 30, 2024

Strolling down the street, it quickly becomes clear why Riga is considered one of the Art Nouveau capitals of Europe. The facades on Albert Street show untamed creativity - decorative elements such as floral ornaments, grotesque masks and filigree balconies adorn the buildings and almost seem to come from another world.

The attention to detail is fascinating and you notice that each building tells its own story. The playful elegance that lies in the architectural details is particularly striking and ensures that you can hardly take your eyes off the facades. The atmosphere of this street seems almost surreal and makes you forget for a moment that you are in the middle of a modern city.

Here you can find works by famous architects such as Mikhail Eisenstein, who have integrated their personal style into the facades and thus created a distinctive cityscape. A short walk through Albert Street is like a journey back in time to Riga in the early 20th century - an experience that will definitely stay in your memory.
